Asie men vs Aspie women: Who has it easier?

Post Reply New Topic

That's a grim view all round.

For all this 'women have it easier with sex', there are a lot of women that a lot of men would not sleep with. These women simply don't register as sexual beings, so get left out of the count. All this 'women aren't interested in me' - I'll bet there's at least a few that are, and you haven't noticed. Not just down to some ASD thing, but because you simply wouldn't consider them sexually attractive.

Bold = bollocks. And if someone was attracted to you because you were a victim - how f***ing creepy!

Men are more likely to be single and homeless, but women are more likely to be homeless with children. However the majority of all homeless people are single males making over 70% in most surveys.

That should tell you something: Males with no jobs have no value in society and jobless single moms are seen less valuable and "damaged goods" than jobless single women.

Depends on the society and the social safety net.

I faced homelessness when I was younger. I went to the local authority, to see about social housing. They have a limited stock, so work a points based system. The more vulnerable you are, the more points you get. So, age, physical health, mental illness, children, family etc all considered and factored in. And, yes, gender. Women are more likely to be attacked than men if homeless. So, they are more vulnerable. So, they get more points.

The obvious answer is to have much, much more social housing.

About this 'do men or women have it worse' thing.

During the flu season, who has it worse ?
In a famine ?
If you have cancer ?
When there is no electricity ?
During a zombie apocalypse ?
If you run out of toilet paper ?
When there is a really long line at the movie theatre ?

Is being Latvian a factor ?
Does height come into the equation ?
Do vitamins help ?
Is belief in Santa Klaus significant ?
And does cheating on exams change the outcome ?

I don't think it's saying that the male is attracted to her because she's a victim, it's because she still has something to offer in the relationship that she can still attract males regardless of her circumstance, which i think is the sex she can provide, the male victim cannot sell his sex, so he falls into total obscurity.

But for women not sexually registering with males...I find that hard to believe, in a world where a 400ilb woman can be perceived as the most hot thing on the planet for so many (BBW is very popular on porn sites), there is just so much wiggle room in regards to her attraction, boobs are too small? plenty of guys like that. too big? plenty of guys like that.

But for the male, there isn't any such attraction, a powerless male is absolutely revolting in the eyes of society.

I don't think it's a grim view, I think it's a sad view, makes us seem more like animals but I think the truth is... we are just animals.

In a famine ?

Kate Macintyre’s contribution addressed an issue which would recur frequently during our deliberations at Les Treilles, viz. why females seemed to survive famine better than men. Given the lower life expectancy of females during ‘normal’ times in famine-prone environments, this is an interesting and important question. Macintyre set out six possible mechanisms that could explain this mortality advantage, using the case of the Great Irish famine (1846-50) as a case study. The mechanisms are: (1) a spurious reading of poor data, which exacerbate the problem of ‘missing’ women so that their deaths are less likely to be reported than deaths of men; (2) a concurrent decline in fertility which lowers the risk of pregnancy and hence maternal mortality; (3) a biological argument that says women are less likely to die from starvation because of higher body fat levels, lower energy consumption, or possibly higher resistance to disease; (4) differential individual and group survival strategies, in particular in relation to migration and to the acquisition of knowledge of famine foods; (5) the particular political and social structures which may discriminate against women in ‘normal’ times, but act in their favour in times of great stress; and (6) emotional or moral factors associated with differential notions of pride, which may mean that women reach places of assistance (the workhouse or the refugee camp, for instance) in a less worse state than men. Macintyre’s reading of the Irish evidence prompted her to opt tentatively for (6).

What I meant by 'registering as a sexual being' is that just about every man has lots of women who they simply don't see that way. I don't think the idea that any and every man will have sex with any woman at the drop of a hat is true.

If all you want from a woman is a hole in which to stick your penis, it's not that difficult. If that is your only requirement. Even if you think you have nothing beside said penis to offer. Men with little in the way of power and money and looks get laid all the time.

And if a woman gets to a point where she has to 'sell' her sex - for, what, some sort of companionship? - that's not exactly a pleasant position to be in.

Those big-boobed co-workers of mine are NOT Aspies. Aspie women and NT women are not at all the same, contrary to the tendency here on WP to lump them all together in one deplorable, irrelevant heap.

But If a women is smart use her sex to avoid situations of homelessness in the first place, men don't have that safety-net, so they're more prone to become homeless

And homeless women with kids are less vulnerable than homeless single women how?

Approximately 44% of homeless people in Australia are female while 56% are males.

How is that a safety net, if a woman uses her sex to avoid homelessness that sounds like desperation....yes I am sure the best course of action for a woman facing homelessness is find a man with a house/apartment and say 'I'll have sex with you if you let me stay in your house' That is essentially prostitution except instead of trading sex for money its trading it for housing. I mean if both parties agree to this arrangement great its really not my business.....however it could be easy for a woman to offer this to the wrong man and end up in an abusive situation, also there is the fact some people aren't comfortable trading sex for things.

I don't know. There are a lot of variables to consider. One that occurs to me is women taking the kids and leaving an abusive partner - in the UK, such a thing could be considered intetionally making oneself homeless, in which case the local authority is not obliged to help.

I was just giving my own experience of the system in the UK - in that system, the woman with kids would be given more points than the one without. Unfortunately, that in no way guarantees a home - it just means she and her kids would be higher on the waiting list.

The system itself is woefully underfunded, and has little available housing stock.

In my experience, providing a good social housing programme is not something that wins votes. It's not whether or not society and its politicians cares more about 'lost' men or 'lost' women, but that society doesn't give much of a hoot for the lost at all.
